After having staged six works by Calderón, the Teatro Corsario company premieres EL ALCALDE DE ZALAMEA , one of his greatest, approaching it from the rigorous study of its essence, as well as the precise way of saying the verse, one of its hallmarks.

THE MAYOR OF ZALAMEA is much more than a drama of honour. It has the ability to involve the spectator in the sordid adventures of its characters in a comedic tone to then take them to the doors of horror. Here the story of a rape and its difficult punishment is told. From our perspective, in which only the condemnation of the facts and the scandal of the perpetrators' conduct are possible, we must pay attention to the way the mayor behaves, who does not hesitate to negotiate with his daughter's rapist and invite him to be his son-in-law; or to Isabel, the victim, who understands that it is she herself who must be punished. In short, circumstances, beliefs and absurdities from a time gone by that, represented on a stage and moving very little away from Calderón's view in this adaptation, help us to understand the present; a present in which we will necessarily have to question what we were and discover that perhaps things have changed a lot. Or perhaps not.
